[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7429680, member: 85693"]Nice coin - nicer than my Antoninus Pius Providentia sestertius. Note the differences in the portraits to your Marcus Aurelius - although they are similar, Marcus has a longer beard, curlier/bushier hair and bulgier eyeball. [ATTACH=full]1289740[/ATTACH] [B]Antoninus Pius Æ Sestertius (155-156 or 156-157 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] AN[TONINVS AVG PIVS PP IMP II], laureate head rt. / [TR POT XIX COS IIII] S-C across fields, Providentia standing left, pointing at large globe at feet and holding vertical sceptre. RIC 946 or 966 (XIX /XX). (22.00 grams / 31 mm) I think I need to upgrade this one...:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
